Ok, after driving it around a bit this is where I'm at: No choke and it takes a bit to keep it running after starting, idle is low and rough....
I called uremco and spoke to a person for about 20 minutes. Figured out the carb in a “new overseas” version and not a Rochester rebuild. He...
Thanks for the replies. Looks like the auto part store loans vacuum gauges. Dumb question - what am I attaching the gauge to? Vac advance...
So idle mixture was set at 2 1/2 out from all the way in. I set it to 1 1/2 per recommended above. Also 1/2 more on the throttle position screw....
[ATTACH] Squirrel, I figured as much. Choke isn’t hooked up as the truck/motor doesn’t have the rest of the divorced choke system. It isn’t...
My previous thread I had an accelerator pump issue on my Rochester BC. I tried everything that was suggested, and discovered the pump bore was too...

Thanks guys! I’ll try both of these and report back! Ryan
Took it apart again and per carburetor mike's youtube video, put some lithium grease on the cup. This worked until the grease went away and now...

I've got a Rochester 1B that needs rebuilt or replaced. I called the carburetor shop and was told it's too old for a replacement. The base that...
Thanks for the continued feedback. The buckets are unmolested and I’m a little hesitant elongating the slot BUT that may still happen. I also need...
